        One of my projects that I just had a chance to start on is a dictionary maker
in Python. Goals for Pydima v. 0.1 (The Python Dictionary Maker) include the
ability to parse a single text file and create a bi-lingual dictionary from
it in either html or LaTeX format. I've got some work done, but it's a far
cry from being usable. Eventually, I plan on add a GUI so that one can both
create new entries and edit old ones in a simple manner, but that could take
a while. :)
